Speaking out for Palestinian rights is increasingly becoming the new standard to meet for progressive leaders in Congress. The Israeli government has wielded apartheid rule over Palestinians for decades and Trump and Netanyahu have made this impossible for U.S. politicians to ignore.
“With this letter, members of Congress are showing their commitment to freedom, equality and justice for all. It’s very clear: True progressives stand up for Palestinians rights.”
“Mike Siegel is the kind of progressive voice and ally that we need in Congress. He will bring a commitment to human rights, dignity, and equality for all people – no exceptions.”
“Ihssane Leckey is unafraid to be bold in her demands for freedom and equality for all people – no exceptions.”
“Samelys López is such an inspiring community organizer – and she’ll make an ever better Congresswoman!”
“We’re thrilled to support a true progressive challenger to Rep. Hoyer – and get another powerful progressive voice into Congress!”
“Jews and allies for Rashida in Detroit are tired of profits, greed, and unchecked power being put before people. Last night was a demonstration of the strength of our community and an invitation to join us in the fight ahead.”
JVPA’s first round of endorsements is centered on incumbent candidates who show that true progressives apply their values consistently – no exceptions, including for Palestinians.
Dozens of members of Detroit’s Jewish community and allies gathered sundown in Pallister Park to observe a Shabbat service with Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
